Creamy Fruit Salad
Yesterday we were short on some supplies, so we looked through the pantry and some fresh ingredients from the refrigerator and this is what we came up with. (we meaning: me, Yasir and our friend Adnan from Bangladesh)
Ingredients:
Mixed fruit can, (or any kind of fruits you like)
Grapes, cut in half
1 Apple chopped,
1 banana chopped,
1 can mandarin oranges,
Nuts and dried fruit -optional (walnuts, almonds, raisins, etc)
1/2 can sweetened condensed milk,
4 oz softened cream cheese
Using a hand blender, beat the cream cheese and condensed milk together. Toss the fruits in a bowl with the whipped cream cheese and condensed milk.
While serving, sprinkle the nuts and dried fruits over this. Serve chilled.
Tip: If the cream cheese is not at room temperature, beat it with a fork, then start from the first step.
If you like less sweet, use less of the condensed milk and more cream cheese.
